Abstract
In reliability assessment of deregulated power systems,
an analysis of the power market should be incorporated in the
assessment. This is done by using a power market model to
generate power market scenarios, and use these scenarios as
a basis for reliability assessment. It is shown how unsupervised
learning techniques can be used to select a subset of the generated
scenarios, and how the reliability assessment can be based on
this subset only. Different algorithms for selecting the subset are
compared, and it is also discussed how to determine the size of
the subset.
The results of the case studies show that the computational
requirements can be reduced by about 90%, with reasonable
accuracy in the reliability indices.
